If it comes down to me having to buy a turbo diesel vehicle in order to save money from ridiculous gas prices, I will go this route;

First step >>
Buy a used old school 80-84 vw rabbit/caddy(pickup) turbo diesel @ VWVortex.com - Golf I/Jetta I Cars

Second step >>
Buy a vegetable oil conversion kit @ 1980-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup (Caddy) 1.5/1.6L Greasecar Kit | Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems

Third step = Go to restaurants or fast foods and ask to pump all there old grease tanks for free gas

^ I don't know if this is your first account on here but I had a party bus which was used to travel across country on veggie oil and its a little more difficult then you think but it is definitely a great way to save money.

That turned me away from hybrids even though I know they've come a long way since then.
They havent come very far lol ...


And for those that havent seen the new bodystyle...




Thats a base model ( i think SE) not a TDI but very simple very clean and not a fagtastic hybrid.

Google "project sipster" if you haven't seen it yet. Topgear america did it right with that car.

I'm not a big fan of hybrids, the slightly better gas mileage isn't worth the awful power. I'd want the jag tt diesel though, assuming it every comes to the US.

Diesel for sure. I hate Hybrids with extreme prejudice. And for you that haven't seen a good video about MPG's...

Wish Ford would man up and ship some of their small diesels over here from Europe and Brazil. Their 2 liter diesel gets like 53mpg.

I get 32MPG with 220HP, no complaints here even though I have to run 93 octane. If I had to choose a new fuel source, natural gas or hydrogen. Both of which have been in use for years in production vehicles made by Honda. I don't know if anyone realizes how cheap even natural gas is. It would cost you like $1 to fill your tank.
